Our regular Toastmasters meeting fell on St Patrick's Day this month.
It was requested by our VPE that we wear something green and try to make St Patrick's Day the theme of the evening.
Most of us managed to find something green and or a little Irish Joke or whatever to make the evening a bit of fun. Some wore green clothing and or jewelry or pen or something. Sam even changed into a green shirt that really belonged to his wife, ( this cross dressing has got to stop Sam ).
There were 13 of us in the room, (hope no one is superstitious) 11 members, 1 visitor David who became a member during the evening and 1 visitor Maxine from Kincumber.
We also had a visit from our Area Govenor Tanya....however I have counted her as a member.

| NEW MEMBER ,......Welcome David..... |
Hope you will enjoy your time with us .......
It was lovely to see Pauline back at our meeting we have been missing her for a while now....
There were only two speeches tonight but both were excellent.
We might have lacked in quantity but the QUALITY sure was there.
Ray gave us a very emotive speech "Advance Australia Fair", an excellent speech, very heart felt and emotional.... Ray is a very proud Aussie and he turned the night GREEN and GOLD
Ann told us all about St Patrick himself and her speech was a most interesting look at St Patrick , the man.
Thank you to both for a couple of great speeches....
Evaluators tonight were Judi and Darren and we gave our visitor Maxine from Kincumber (A past member of Blue Gum ) by the way....... the honour of being our General Evaluator.
(We make em work for their cuppa at Blue Gum Flat.) !!!!
